    Simply download the latest version from our web site and run the Setup Wizard. When prompted, select "Upgrade". Your existing licence will be accepted & your current settings retained.
     
    The existing Sentry-go Plus! solution will be upgraded to the Sentry-go Monitoring System & associated services.
      
  • If you are upgrading from a Sentry-go Quick Monitor v4.x AND DO NOT WISH TO RETAIN SETTINGS, you can upgrade your current Quick Monitor licences at a discount now.
     
    To upgrade, simply purchase an upgrade licence for the appropriate components from the web site, contact 3Ds (UK) Limited or your software reseller. You will need to enter your existing licence information.

  •  If you are upgrading from a Sentry-go Quick Monitor v4.x AND WISH TO RETAIN YOUR EXISTING SETTINGS, you cannot upgrade at the present time. Due to technical changes between Sentry-go Quick Monitors v4.x and v5.x, the two configurations are not directly compatible.
     
    You can still evaluate v5.x to see all the new features and benefits the latest version will bring by downloading a free 21-day evaluation from the web site.
     
    We are currently working on an upgrade path that will allow v.4 x configuration settings to be upgraded to the new format. As soon as this is available, you will be able to upgrade your Quick Monitor v4.x to the latest v5.x product at a discounted price.
